Cherry Mobile Cutie P9

As I was strolling the mall a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a small phone from a Cherry Mobile kiosk. It looked like a cellphone split into two, length-wise. It reminded me of a phone from Samsung years ago, though I don’t know what model it was (Update: some people told me that it was Samsung SCH-U470, though I’m not really sure). The CM phone was a cute one, small indeed, hence the name Cherry Mobile Cutie. It really was a cutie phone about the size of a pocket MP3 player. I was about to ask the attendant on the CM kiosk, but I figured out that they’re not that sociable, they weren’t so enthusiastic to entertain potential customers, they just sit crouching down near the floor, texting carelessly, ignoring my curiosity. And yeah, it wasn’t the first time that they do that.

Then last week, as I was walking on another mall, I managed to pass by another cellphone store that distributes Cherry Mobile phones and decided to inquire. They were friendly and gladly answered most of my questions. I asked about the Cherry Mobile Cutie and here are some of the specs I managed to get from them, though I can say the specs are very rough, rough estimates especially if it was from a sales lady perspective: (See update below post for the official specs)

Colored screen (Probably TFT, not sure about the size, I think it’s around 1.2″)

Single SIM

Plays MP3

FM Radio

Bluetooth

microSD card slot

Available in different colors

No camera

The price is at P1,299, not bad for a small phone that packs most common feature that regular-sized phone has. Though I asked them if the unit can play videos, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, and they said, “Uh, yes”. And of course I highly doubt it, due to the extremely small display. I believe that this phone has the potential and the cultural impact as the older Cherry Mobile P1 has. It’s an icon that can attract customers not as a for-techie-only object, but as a new meme.

I’ll probably come back later and shoot a picture of the Cutie and post it here.

Update: I added the pics and the specs from the box. And yeah, the person on the store is still snobbish, though they let me take the pictures.

My List of the 10 Cheapest Android Phones Though the title may seem a bit generic and too plain for an article, I’ll be focusing on listing the cheapest Android phones in the Philippine market as of this writing and try to sort them subjectively from not so decent to very decent. And take note, I won’t tackle on the generic China phones that we always see on...

About the video: my answer to your question is, yes. It can play video file, MP4. Surprisingly, the size of the video is extremely smaller than the actual screen size. It appears as though there’s a default frame on it. I even did try playing The Lord of the Rings, which lasted more than 2 hours and I finished the movie. (of course the movie is converted to fit the size of the screen which is 1.2).

what you saw there uses content scraper for purposes of SEO, which in turn returns profit. well, the date of posting is much more obvious isn’t it? Besides I don’t think that there are Cherry Mobile phones in the UK.

I’ve seen it once before when I was out of town, but in the area where I live, they say that the model is not available at their store at the moment.

I believe that the Cutie is out now in most Cherry Mobile stores and kiosks. I took the picture of the P9 at a CM kiosk at SM City Lucena.
